October - December 2014
Several new faces contested our Open series held fortnightly between October – December. The change to Saturdays appeared to have been popular with 12 boats racing in a variety of conditions upriver at Shoreham. PRO John Redman and his fantastic team set the windward mark close to the new footbridge which attracted many onlookers at times.
Entrants included Lancing Scouts & several SYC youths - just 3 points separated father & son team Gareth & Rhys Griffiths (Heron) 3rd, Steve Southall (RS300) 2nd with Felpham SC junior Toby Pelling emerging victorious helming an Albacore despite his uncle Steve (Popple) crewing! Special mentions are due to young Lancing Scouts Ryan & Logan whose determination impressed us all. See the SYC Dinghy page for full results.
Next up is our Open Southwick Canal Cooler to be held over eight consecutive Sunday's beginning Sunday 11th January, 11am start each week – competitors and spectators all welcome.
